Why GMA NEWS TV is a good thing.

You know the feeling when you’re in front of the TV, waiting for something that will answer your burning questions? Like there’s a storm going on at the moment, and you’re itching to find out if there’ll be a class or not? Well thanks to GMA, we’ll have GMA NEWS TV.

They mentioned a lot of new shows, and the one that caught my attention was the “Brigada,” That was one of the TV shows I remember when I was a kid. It was “Brigada 7” and the only one I remember from it was Jessica Sojo. Then they promised news per hour. This answers the worries and inquiries when times of distress occur. Will there be a class tomorrow?  Traffic where? Well, tune in into GMA NEWS TV. GMA NEWS is known for being credible, and now they seemed to be credible enough to launch a new channel. And not just any other channel, but a news channel.  Like freaking CNN, only that this one’s for free.

I am personally happy with this decision from GMA. There is no more question of what they value most, if it’s business or public service.  Although business remains somewhat a ‘initial’ thing, the fact that they could have launched a channel that can struck more money. Like lifestyle, cartoon, or a music channel. They seemed to be focused on the hungry-for-information side of the Filipinos. A smart idea on the whole, and about time!

What happened to QTV channel 11? Debunked? By the looks of it, it said on the news that it’ll be on channel 11, so that probably means QTV 11 no more. But how about American Idol and a lot of other shows? Will this go to GMA? The answers are yet to be found on Feb. 28, 2011, the date when they will air GMA NEWS TV.
